'I am jobless' Now that Shah Rukh Khan is not doing Shanker's Robot, he says
that he's jobless. In characteristic good humour, he adds, "I hope to find
work" Back to Section Stories Posted On Wednesday, October 24, 2007 Kunal M
Shah Shah Rukh Khan and South director Shanker are no longer working
together. This means that Shah Rukh will no longer be part of the
much-publicised and much-awaited film, Robot. Touted to be a slick, stylised
film, Robot had generated a lot of attention from viewers and
industrywallahs alike. The film is supposed to go on the floors early next
year. Shanker has earlier made only one Hindi film, Nayak with Anil Kapoor
and Robot was supposed to go on the floors by early next year. Shah Rukh
Khan Our sources reveal that owing to creative differences, SRK and Shankar
have decided to not work together, and needless to say, it's in the best
interest of the film. Shah Rukh says, "Yes, we have called it off. We were
not happy with few things, among them being the fact that his take on the
film was completely different from mine. We had worked very hard on the film
in the last four months and it is sad that we had to call it off. There were
certain issues and both Shanker and I decided that we won't make it. It was
amicably done and there is no bad blood." What next for SRK? "I had taken
seven months off for Robot but now I am jobless. Even Rajkumar Hirani's film
is not happening. Don 2 will on the floors in 2008 end and so I am pretty
jobless for the time being. However, I am sure that I will manage to get
some work." What about rumours about him doing Dhoom 3? "I am not doing
Dhoom 3. I don't know why people keep on saying that I am doing it. As for
Don 2, it will start in 2008 end as Farhan is currently producing 3-4 films
and it's their baby, they are the producers, not me." As for Om Shanti Om
(OSO), he says, "I think today films should be made with a little more
logic. That's when we decided to make a film about the '70s. That way we
could have our dose of songs and dance. You will see lot of dialogue like
`Mujhe Bhagwaan ke liye chod do', etc. We also have the dialogue like, `Beta
maine tere liye kheer banai hai'."
